Last-minute call leads to unplanned refueling mission

A KC-135 Stratotanker from the 100th Air Refueling Wing, like this one, took off from Royal Air Force Mildenhall Feb. 7 on an unscheduled mission to refuel a C-17 Globemaster III that was rushing injured troops from Iraq to Andrews Air Force Base, Md. The rendezvous saved the air-evacuation mission some three hours of flying time. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Mark Bucher)
